Singer/songwriters: "J"

Clowns to the left, jokers to the right, and here we have Jerad Finck's EP, Stuck In Your Riddle. It was released last October, via Rock Ridge Music and co-publishers BMG/Chrysalis.

About the signing to Rock Ridge, Finck had this to say, "I am excited about my continuing and growing relationship with Rock Ridge. They have been a constant force over the past year and have really pushed me to grow as an artist. I am thankful for everything they have done. I can't believe how far we've come over the past year…" And then he mentioned something about ninjas. No idea.

Things are looking great for this Spokane-based singer/songwriter, Finck is currently on the road with dada and 7Horse. You can use the codes "jerad123" for a discount if you are planning on seeing him on tour.

Singer-songwriter José James' Blue Note debut, No Beginning No End, came out to critical acclaim - hitting #1 album on the iTunes R&B/Soul chart. James recently performed the lead single, "Trouble" on both CBS Late Show With David Letterman and TBS Conan, and was featured on The New York Times Arts & Leisure and on NPR All Things Considered.

Last week, James kicked off his tour - returning to the U.S. in March for some West Coast dates.

Capitol Records recently signed R&B singer/songwriter Jarvis (full name Jarvis Shaffer), with the intention of releasing his debut album, Cardiology for 2013. To stir up buzz, the record company released a single called "Make A Little Room."

I don't know about you, but when I hear 'Jarvis', I just automatically think of Jarvis Cocker.

Atlanta singer/songwriter John Vournakis' second EP Hiraeth was released last week (01/21). You can listen to it on Bandcamp.

If you were wondering about the name 'hiraeth', it is a Welsh word meaning "a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was." Quite a long definition for just one word.
